WildTangent and FATE specifically lol i never got past like level ten

Telorand,

Oh, WildTangent! I’ve only played Plants vs. Zombies from them.

Small misconception, PvZ was created by PopCap. WildTangent was just a service on which to play games. I remember so fondly using my limited free tokens to play Polar Bowling; it really was just the best.

Don't know if you're aware, but FATE is available on Steam. Relive those memories, boss.

Ori and the Blind Forest has a great track throughout, but the menu is definitely a highlight.

Lucas Arts

Telorand,

Are they still around? /j

Yep, some classic point and click games, like Full Throttle. It’s from games like that that I learned Mark Hamill is an amazing voice actor.

Telorand,

Not from my childhood, but I’ve certainly played a lot of their games!

Frontier for Elite
Psygnosis for Lemmings and a bunch of other fun games on the Amiga.

Telorand,

Elite was a game changer for a lot of people. Lemmings was super fun, as well!

DmMacniel,

Fun fact: Rockstar (back then DMA) developed Lemmings.

The 3 Bs, baby. Blizzard, Bioware, and Bethesda.

Blizzards dead to me, Bioware fell off after dragon age 1, and Bethesda refuses to take its limiters off anymore (no drugs)

Telorand,

I’m enjoying heavily-modded DA:I, but I do feel like DA1 had some better writing and direction.

The only thing I can remember from inquisition is trudging through some high level desert looking for high level rocks (which very blatantly cut their drop rate from earlier zones) so that I could make an armor and weapon that still sucked and looked like pajamas.

also that the party loves to litter

Any recommendations for mods? I’m putting together a new build for it ahead of my semi-annual replay of the trilogy

Telorand,

Yeah, definitely!

I’ll skip the skins, because I assume you’ll want to pick your own that fit your tastes, but you can find all of these at NexusMods. Some of my favorites are:

  • Speed Launch
  • 60 fps in cutscenes
  • No fall damage
  • Infinite Respec Amulet
  • Party At The Winter Palace
  • Shorter War Table Missions (75%)
  • Party Banter Time (5-10min)
  • All Bard songs for CC Music
  • Stay still in CC - Natural Edition
  • Face Ash Begone
  • Bugs Be Gone
  • Skills Enhanced by NinjaReborn
  • Inventory Capacity

You’ll also need Frosty Mod Manager to set all those up (they seem to work for me in the order I listed) and Frosty Fix.

  • Set up the mods and load order in FrostyMM, and close.
  • Launch Frosty Fix.
  • Choose the profile/pack you want.
  • Mash go.
  • FrostyMM should open back up.
  • Open the pack you created.
  • The game should launch automatically with the mods correctly enabled.

All these mods feel “vanilla-ish” and shouldn’t spoil the original experience to any significant degree.

I always loved the https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TCfUJbZ5LJU from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Rik Schaffer was on fire for that whole soundtrack.
